Result of a research Master Thesis, this work seeks to penetrate the interstices of urban surfaces and how to scrutinize the people that experience the city. In the theoretical approach, the city does not appear as a non significance background, on the contrary, it is shown as part of the daily intrigue and small guerrillas woven by recyclable materials catchers that populate their niches and their places. These men and women are characters that cross the urban area, restraining all the time to separate, collect and gather all that the city scorned and rejected as garbage. With sinuous steps, they are lead not only by need for survival, but also by the desire to prevent these remains to become lost. Thus, subjective territories are drawn, marked by limits that fall apart and moves with the path. In an attempt to investigate these wandering stocks, this paper searches the look that tracks micro-politics that unfold on the surface of the town, which perches without rush in the images of ordinary, non memorable, to listen to words and rhythms of tine speeches; skin shiver against the silence of the unspeakable. The narratives emerging from these expeditions do not compose tranquil and linear landscapes, marking the existence of harmonic and free of conflict spaces. Far from it, show plural places, that even full of conflicts and tensions, do not fail to exercise the experience acceptance of others in their ugliness, in their broken and dirty body, shameless in their reckless life. In their temporal pulse, the inhabitants of these spaces reveal plots that affirm the urban life as it is: happy, sad, available, sullen, ephemeral and unstable
